Jennifer Hunter
Nationally recognized, award–winning artist, Jennifer Hunter, is known for her sensitive storytelling of American history through her art work. Her paintings exude unique quality of light and rich luminous color in both watercolor and oil. Hunter finds that her working knowledge of the use of transparency in watercolor enhances her oil painting techniques; and working in oil allows for experimentation with textured surfaces using both transparency and opacity of paint to give life to her work.
Hunter researches her subjects in historical archives and with photography sessions on western ranches with pioneers, cowboys, frontiersman and Native Americans as her models. She has crossed Nebraska several times in a covered wagon, and has painted from the experience. Additionally, she is inspired by living history re-enactors, who appear in many of her paintings.
Hunter studied classical painting at the prestigious American Academy of Art in Chicago, and has studied under many celebrated master artists. She has earned signature status with the Western Colorado Watercolor Society, the Academic Artists’ Association, Women Artists of the West, and American Plains Artists. She is an associate member of Oil Painters of America and Transparent Watercolor Society of America.
